A520 printer and Mac

Recently I had to reload OSX Mavericks. Then when I tried to reinstall the printer I get say error message "unable to install the software because it is currently not avaialbe from the software update server.

Any ideas? I don't know if it's a question of Mavericks, HP issue or a server problem Apple. Thank you.

Hi TexasSteve,

I understand that you get an error message that the update server is not available when you try to install the A520 on your Mac.

Mac PC have an internal database that tells them what's compatible and what is not. All you need to do is to run updates Apple software before attempting to install the printer. Even if there is no update that must be installed, internal database of the Mac will always be updated. Once you have done this, the printer should install without any problems. ( Shane_R@HPnote)

I hope that this helps, please let me know how it goes.

Thank you

  • HP Laserjet P1102w does not appear in the list print and fax OS 10.5.8

    Receive a HP Laserjet 1102w and tried to install it on Mac OS 10.5.8.  I downloaded and ran the HP drivers but when I go to add the printer in system preferences/printers and faxes in the list of available printers is empty.  I tried several routines suggested by a search on the web about the problem without result.

    Everyone out there solved this problem?

    Thank you for your attention.  I found the solution.  See below.

    The printer is connected by USB and I also tried to get the wireless connection.  I had intermittent progress on both fronts, but could not make a successful installation of USB connection or wireless connection.  The printer would "disappear" the list of available printers (using the '+' to add a printer, OS 10.6.8) or does not meet the installation commands.  And I could not connect the printer wireless to my network of 'take'

    Print the configuration page was of no use.  If the printer is unable to connect to the wireless network, it reports the IP address of the printer such as 0.0.0.0.

    TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM

    (clicking + under "Print and Fax" printer is not displayed or the name of the printer is removed)

    (1) replace the USB - the original was sensitive to cut;

    (2) give up the wireless - to - wireless set up methods - no amount of factory reset does not erase block of connection of mystery;

    (3) set up the connection through a USB cable wireless (good);

    (3) to switch the browser used to display the configuration page from the printer in Firefox (for Mac OS 10.6.8 34.0.5) for Safari

    (4) use security mode WPA (WEP not as suggested by HP help files).

    The main troublemaker was the bad USB cable.  Go to put wireless in place assume that the printer can connect to the network. As already mentioned, the WiFi was not working.  Network blue light would not come into balance.  A transmission option was blocking handshaking between the printer and my wireless router.  I tried unsuccessfully recommended factory reset methods.

    I needed a good USB connection to access the printer configuration options.

    Don't know which increased with Firefox - a plugin bad or something?  It would be not just connect them to the printer via IP addressing.  Safari worked fine.  (The printer is now successfully Setup that Firefox has decided to work too.)

    THE SOLUTION IS:

    (1) connect the printer and Mac via a cable (good);

    (1) use Safari to go to the printer setup functions (through the system preferences/print & / fax options & supplies show printer web page);

    (2) follow the recommended configuration options (HP support for Laserjet P1102w, OS 10.6, via a USB cable to connect wireless);

    (3) select the appropriate wireless in the list;

    (4) restore WPA security mode; and

    (5) to give the printer the correct wireless network password.

    Thank you and the forum, for your help.

  • HP Photosmart C6280: my HP Photosmart C6280 ceased printing and copying. I use a Mac OS 10.10.5

    My HP Photosmart C6280 stopped printing and copying. I use a Mac OS 10.10.5. The printer seems to work, but no ink is on paper with a function.

    I installed a new black ink cartridge and select "black only" with the same results. All the other ink levels are sufficient.

    I would appreciate your help. The printer has been idle for a few days but a previous usage has been a success.

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support. I hope you're well @Suz161!

    Thank you access the Forums from HP Support for extra support! I see that you are having problems when copying / printing. I will do my best to help you with this problem.

    It looks like a problem with the printer ink. It may have dried due to non-use. I suggest that try you to perform a print head cleaning. Try the following steps:

    • On the printer control panel, press 'Setup '.
    • Press the down arrow button to select Tools and press OK.
    • Press the down arrow button to select "Clean printhead" and press OK.
    • If the print quality is acceptable, you can stop troubleshooting.
    • If the print quality is unacceptable, perform a print head cleaning.

    You can try the steps mentioned additional troubleshooting here: http://hp.care/2dVLZUu

    Let me know how it goes. Nice day!

  • print wireless HP Deskjet 6980 and Mac OS 10.6

    I can't print wireless setup for my HP Deskjet 6980 in Mac OS 10.6,

    I can't find any software update and do not have my original installation CD.

    I scoured the help pages with absolutely no information for this specific problem.

    OK, it's going to be difficult because the printer is very old and 10.6 technically impossible to set up a wireless connection for your printer.

    With the printer plugged in USB, go to System Preferences > print & fax.  Click on the printer and then click «Options & supplies»

    See if you can find the button "see the printer page.  I doubt you can, but we will try.  If this does not work, your only choices are to connect the Ethernet printer to your router or to solve your original problem of sharing USB or get a new printer.

    Back to your original problem, fixing, share the printer make sure that printer sharing is enabled on two Macs (System Preferences > sharing).  Then, we will reset the printing on the Mac problem system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • Printer continues to recognize the devices iOS and Mac

    For a month the printer was working fine with a Macbook Air, Mac Mini (with Mac OSx 10.9.1), several iPhone (4S and 5s - with device Windows XP Windows 7 IOS 7.0.4) 2 being able to print to the printer.  The printer is connected via USB and wireless to a Windows 7 device.

    All of a sudden the Macs and iPhones have started having problems printing.  The first thing I did was to restart the printer, but that did not fix anything.  Next thing I've tried has been reset to the default network settings and then reconnect to the wireless network.  I was able to do this, but yet the Macs and iPhones could not see the printer.  Next thing I tried was going to the web interface of the printer in order to check all the parameters and the Bonjour service has been activated.  All settings went well.  An interesting thing is that Windows devices could connect to the web interface, but the Macs couldn't.

    I can run the utility from HP on the Mac and it does not detect the printer and it can query the printer for settings such as ink.  However when I run the printer Installation Wizard, it does not see the printer.  When I try to manually add the printer with the IP (which is detected by the HP utility), it cannot connect to the printer.

    Nothing has changed on the router that controls the network during all this.

    Any suggestions on how to get the printer is recognized by Macs?  Macs connect to the wireless network as well and connect to the same SSID as the printer.  Ditto for iPhones.  Turn the printer on the network via Ethernet is not possible at this time.

    It is certainly sounding like Hello (mDNS) does not work on your wireless network.  Although the addition of the IP should work without worrying.

    If you print a network on the OfficeJet does show a good wireless connection?  It shows the correct SSID?  Correct IP address?  If you enter the IP address on the page of network prnter in Safari or any other browser you get the printer Embedded Web Server Page?

    Have you recently upgraded or changed your wireless router?  Have you tried to reboot the wireless router?

    You mention that the Windows PC is connected via USB.  Is this queue that is shared on the network by the Windows PC?

  • HP 2549: HP 2549 and Mac OS x: double-sided printing does not work

    Hello!

    I just installed this printer on my Macbook Air and I cannot print double-sided. I tried by USB / wireless (in the case where there is a difference between the two) but no luck.

    I followed the advice in this post: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/two-sided-printing-no-longer-availble-...

    but I did not tab "driver". I only have "Général", "Levels of power" and "utility." I tried to delete the printer and then add it with HP 2359 and AirPrint not but that does not change.

    When I print a pdf document, double-sided printed is greyed out and I cannot change.

    What should I do? I already reinstalled the drivers on the HP Web site, I selected all the things that I can install it, but that has not changed anything.

    Thank you.

    Hi @blablaalf,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that two-sided printing does not work with your printer HP 2549 on Mac OS X 10.10. I'm happy to help with this problem!

    I assume that your printer is a HP Deskjet 2549, otherwise please reply with the exact type of printer you have. To find product/model number of your printer follow the instructions in this link. Find your model number of the HP product.

    Otherwise, if the type of printer you have. According to this guide, print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing). He said: this printer is not an automatic duplex unit integrated, you can always print on both sides of the page to manually reload paper in the paper after printing tray first to print on both sides of the paper.

    This is the reason why this option is grayed out.

    If you print on letterhead, pre-printed paper or paper with watermarks and pre-drilled holes, the printer prints first the front of the document. Load the paper with the top edge first and the side to be printed facing downwards.

  • I reinstalled adobe CS6. my other macs, I had a printer named 'Adobe PDF', that I could choose that as my printer and a dialogue box came up, I named the file and the location.  I can't figure out how to get this done on my new mac.  Help

    I reinstalled adobe CS6. my other macs, I had a printer named 'Adobe PDF', that I could choose that as my printer and a dialogue box came up, I named the file and the location.  I can't figure out how to get this done on my new mac.  Help

    There are two ways to create a PDF on a Mac:

    (1) you can use the default method, which is to choose file > print. Click on the PDF menu below on the left, then click on save as PDF. This lets you name and save the PDF file using the mechanism of OS X to create PDF files.

    (2) in the same menu, you can save in Adobe PDF format. It runs a script (a little slow) that lets choose you what PDF settings file you want to use. This is the Adobe-developed mechanism that replaces the old Virtual PDF printer.

  • Cannot print photos with PES 9 and Mac OS x Lion on any printer. (Other applications to print very well!)

    Software: Photoshop Elements 9; iMac, Mac OS X Lion, latest version, 12 GB of RAM: I can't print to one of my three printers, HP Photosmart or laser printers.  The software recognizes all the but when I put up all print and name the printer etc, the white page just goes through the printer without printing on the Photosmart and does nothing on lasers.  I can use all printers for all applications and can print photo retouched with Picasso or other applications without problem.  I would like to re-download and reinstall the program, but it was purchased on the Apple App Store and is currently unavailable due to exit 10.  Any solution?  I wouldn't mind upgrading, but hate to spend $80 that I don't see a major différenec in version 10, and version 9 does everything very well otherwise.  Purchased version 9 August 2011 when I bought my iMac.

    Go in your username > library > Preferences and delete one of these you will find:

    Work with difficult IP put in the printer.

    Change the IP address via the Web interface.

    Change the settings of the router

    Try to reinstall the software which is not even possible that most all do the manual says that it is.

    Still 1 print and then nothing. Reset the printer or change the IP in the difficulty of the printer, labour, still 1 print or scan or 1 airprint but then nothing.

    (printed about 35 pages of BS as test)

    Day no. 2, new day of new towers

    Looking around the God thank you forum I'm not the only one who has this problem.

    A lot of people, same problem, some struggle for 6 months, contact support without success.

    Damm scan I even was going to this party and look at all the users having problems. Allow me to first impression please.

    And right now, it looks resolved advice and try to do the same. No results at all.

    Day still no 2, but I can't download now...

    Come on guys read it all, it seems that you are lucky, when it works. You must be a programmer if it works.

    My main question is;

    -Is this or Steve Job knew this?  This product is in its Apple store, HP uses the Apple logo.

    -Sell HP t - he produced cheap now and get the money back to test everything print and use the cartridges?

    -Are there hope or solution let this work smooth with what the box and ads tell?

    -J' just forgot a small no and someone give me the solution?

    -In a lot of wine in these days of Christmas?

    Hope someone can help me and get this Photosmart 5510 working (printing, scanning and airprinting it says on the box)

    Hi ShiomiL,

    A tried these last few months, a lot of time to get the HP works as it should work (especially the airprinting and scan) without any success.  We used with IP printing/scanning, which wasn't a problem, but does not give us the full possibility of the HP printer.

    Today I bought an apple Extreme airport, connect and a few seconds later all works perfect

    In the end, so it was the TL-WR741N (the latter replaced by apple airport) that give problems.

    I just wanted you to know and say thank you for the support you give.
